Three of Tinder’s founders and a handful of current executives say the popular dating app’s parent companies cheated them out of as much as $2 billion by manipulating financial information to undermine its valuation, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The co-founders and executives claim that Match Group Inc. and IAC/InterActiveCorp. hid projections of Tinder’s rapid growth in order to reduce payments to the holders of stock options, which were based on the company’s valuation.
